THE NATURE OF SPACE AND TIME

1) For Immanuel Kant, space and time are a priori categories of knowledge. Subjective time.

2) For the Theory of Relativity time is the fourth dimension of space.

3) Space and time are related because they are composed by intervals.

4) Space and time are objective and independent.

5) The space intervals are length and distance.

6) The time interval is duration, which is objective and imperceptible (magnitive).

7) Clocks measure time indicating when the intervals begin and when end (beginning and end). This is an objective measure; it cannot be an illusion. Although it is obvious, in one minute 60 seconds pass, in one hour 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds pass and in a day 24 hours or 1,440 minutes pass.

8) Time is the continuous succession of irreversible changes. Clocks measure time intervals or duration.

9) The proof that time exists is that we know for sure when an interval begins and when ends. Not in vain we celebrate the arrival of a new year, our birthday, etc.
